Steps to reproduce

Using vim-mode for editing, in a file containing a lot of completed tasks (in this case, instances of recurring tasks), execute :g/^-\s\[x\]/d

Expected result

Matching lines are deleted

Actual result

:43d not an editor command (or some other line number).

Download and reinstall Obsidian.

  1. Does it happen in the sandbox vault?
  2. Does it happen in source mode?
  3. Does it happen here https://codemirror.net/5/demo/vim.html ?
  4. Does it happen here https://codemirror-vim--util.repl.co/ ?

OK, I did a full uninstall/reinstall

I opened the sandbox vault, enabled vim mode, create a file with multiple lines of

- [x] Task

And then ran the same two commands. The first (global, but no delete) did return all the lines. The second (global with delete) still returned a variant of the same error (different line number)

I changed the sandbox vault to source mode, all results the same

I copied the text of my file into this demo, the results are the same.

I copied the text of my file into this demo, the results are the same.

Given all that, it seems like an issue in codemirror (which, if I understand correctly, is what Obsidian includes to get vim-mode?) rather than Obsidian itself.

If that’s correct, do you have any advice on how I raise a bug with them?

I’ve got the same problem

Let’s leave it unsolved.

Ah, OK, I was marking it solved because the “solution” is “this is an upstream issue” and I’ve successfully opened a bug upstream for it.

Now we can mark this solved. I engaged with the upstream community, they resolved it, and I’ve confirmed that it has been successfully integrated into Obsidian

thanks for the follow-up!
